## Psychology

- **Attachment:** Secure
Comfortable with both intimacy and independence. They trust other people and themselves, and can rely on someone without feeling they're giving up their autonomy. Disagreements feel workable, not threatening. They ask for what they need and respect it when others do the same.

- **Blind spot:** May not fully understand what less secure attachment feels like, which can make them seem dismissive of other people's relationship anxieties
- **Defense:** Sublimation
Channels unacceptable impulses into something socially valued, like aggression becoming athletic drive or grief becoming art.

- **Lie:** If they really knew me, they would leave
Keeps part of themselves hidden, convinced that full honesty would end the relationship. Vulnerability feels like a risk, not a way to connect.

Losing something hits harder than gaining the same thing pleases. Holds on to what they already have and takes fewer chances than they mean to.

- **Emotional State:** Trapped

## Values

Security
Needs stability and predictability before anything else feels possible, so they value planning, reliability, and known quantities.

Creativity
Originality and self-expression are core needs, and making something that didn't exist before satisfies them.

- **Stress:** Dissociates and autopilots
Disconnects from immediate experience while still functioning. They may feel unreal, as though watching themselves from a distance, or lose track of time without noticing. The body keeps going while awareness goes elsewhere.
- **Recovery:** Physical things help: something to touch or feel, or hearing their own name. The disconnection is protecting them, so coming back should be slow
- **Locus:** External (30%)
Believes outcomes mostly come down to circumstance, luck, and other people.
- **Blind spot:** Can underinvest in situations where effort would have changed things
- **Quirk:** Charismatic
- **Fears:** Cats
